Ring-bearing girl the French found in ancient city (7)
I believe the answer is:
annular
'ring-bearing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'girl the french found in ancient city' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'ann' (woman's name).
'the french' becomes 'la' (one of the French words for 'the').
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ancient city' becomes 'ur' (ancient Sumerian city state).
'la' put within 'ur' is 'ular'.
'ann'+'ular'='ANNULAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annular that I've seen before include "Forming a ring" , "Doughnut-shaped -- a LAN run (anag)" , "Ring-shaped" , "in a band" , "Circular" .)
